Hey Pig,

I don't mind your having a wallow. Yes, I've got the vocoder, and I use
and like it a lot, also never vocally controlled. My most typical use
actually involves controlling it with a sine wave from a sequenced or
LFO'd or etc. VCO or resonating filter to pick out individual bands.
Vocoders have a ton of uses. My comment that the patch Peter described
could be done with the vocoder was prime facie true -- what's a vocoder
after all but a fixed filterbank in which each band has its own VCA.
The difference is that the vocoder has one unity output for all the
bands, but as I said, for lots of uses that wouldn't really matter.
There must be patches for which it *would* matter to have individual
band outputs for separate processing, but for simple VCAing of bands
where they'd be going to the same destination, the vocoder does the
job. That doesn't mean there shouldn't be an individual band output
helper module for the fixed filter bank, just that the particular
example sounded like one that could be done without one.


As for as Peter's knowledge, it's unquestionable.
